Fees

Students have the option to pay fees upfront or utilise the Australian Government’s FEE-HELP system, deferring tuition costs to assist eligible students in managing higher education expenses.

Paying Tuition Fees Upfront

Students pay the tuition fees for their studies at ACOM upfront, unless they defer part or all of their fees via the FEE-HELP scheme (see below). Fee payments can be made online via the link below.

FEE-HELP

FEE-HELP is a loan from the Australian Government to pay all or part of your fees when you study a higher education course at an approved higher education provider.

FEE-HELP is only available for tuition fees, and does not cover incidental fees or other costs. 

Students wishing to utilise FEE-HELP should apply during admission, or contact the Registrar for more details. To read more about FEE-HELP and check your eligibility, go to the Australian Government's Study Assist website.
